Universal has picked up the pitch from 'Burning Love' creator Erica Oyama.

Plot details are being kept in detention, but the comedy will explore the lengths a high school teacher will go to gain the respect she deserves.

Executive vp production Erik Baiers will oversee the project for the studio.

The sale extends Universal’s relationship with Poehler, who stars with Tina Fey in the studio's December comedy Sisters. She also is producing the comedy Balls for the studio. The actress currently is shooting The House with Will Ferrell for New Line.

Burning Love is a reality-relationship-show parody that can be seen on Yahoo and E! Oyama's husband, Ken Marino, starred in the first season and directed. With Marino, Oyama has several projects around town — Go the F— to Sleep at Fox 2000, among them.
